364 Days for Men and 1 International Women's Day

March 8th is International Women's Day and if you haven't already read Eileen Myles' essay, "Being Female," then read it today. The essay (originally published @ The AWL, see below) is in response to "The Count," conducted and published by VIDA (Women in the Literary Arts), which shows that mainstream literary publications publish and review far more work by men than by women. Also recommended: "The Gatekeepers and the Glass Ceiling, Notes Toward an Essay on The Count" on Lemonhound.
